Hi there! My name’s Viognier, but you can call me Vinny – all my friends do! I’m part of the Wine litter and travelled from TX to MN with my four siblings. I’m a sturdy little pup with a sandy blonde coat covered in tiger stripes (yes, I am that handsome!), light brown eyes, and a tail that wags like crazy when someone says my name.
I love hanging out with humans and fellow dogs alike – playtime, pets, and belly rubs are basically the best things in the world. On sunny days, you’ll find me doing my very important job: yard patrol! I take perimeter checks seriously, but don’t worry, I know all work and no play makes a full boy – so I always make time for chewing my bone and romping after a tennis ball.
I’m still learning the ropes of potty and kennel training, but I’m picking it up fast. I’m also practicing my leash manners and how to come when called, especially if I know treats are involved. I’m a food-motivated guy, and I really want to make my people proud.
I live with two cool resident dogs: a wise 12-year-old chihuahua and a fun 5-year-old cattle dog. I respect their vibes and boundaries and even play tag with the cattle dog in the backyard – sometimes she even topples me over (rude but wheeeee). I’ve also met the neighbor’s dog nose-to-nose! I didn’t bark – I was just curious, and I walked away when asked.
My dream home? One that loves a confident, curious pup who also happens to be a chill guy. I’d thrive with a routine and a family who is invested in betting me trained in basic obedience. I’d be happy living with other dogs or being your one and only. Either way, I’m ready to become your very best boy.
So, what do you say? Put an adoption application in and hopefully you’ll be sharing your couch (and your snacks) with your tiger-striped cuddle machine (me!!) soon!
